DAY 1 DAY 2 DAY 3 DAY 4 DAY 5

SOCIAL STUDIES:

Read for 20 minutes and keep track of your progress. Make a prediction about the theme of the text or the central idea of the text based on textual evidence

Given the point (3,5), use digits 1-9, at most one time, to �nd a point (__, __) that maximizes the slope of the line that passes through the two points. The slope cannot be unde�ned.

MATH:

Apply scienti�c and engineering ideas to re�ne a device that minimizes the force on an object during a collision. An example of re�nement includes modifying the design to improve the level of protection of the object.

Would you like to give thanks to someone who has helped you or done something nice for you? Design a postcard and focus on words and thoughts of gratitude.

Read “Once Upon a Time” pages 11-16. What is the theme? Use text evidence to support your theme.

A juice company wants a new container design, and you have been commis-sioned to create it. It should look di�erent from most containers so it will stand out to customers—it could be a prism, cone, pyramid, a combination of more than one type of shape, or any three-dimensional geometric �gure you can describe. It needs to have a volume of 16 �uid ounces.

Create 6-8 questions around a topic (technology, culture, civic participation, power of government, global connec-tions). Interview two people then record answers and ask follow-up questions. Make a creative product re�ective of the question “How does experience in�uence perspective?” (create a story, make a video).

Create a still life drawing, using 3-5 objects from around your room or house and arrange on a �at surface. Add a light source to create strong shadows cast on one side of your objects. Now draw and shade!

SCIENCE: SCIENCE:

Read and annotate “Night Calls” on pages 9-18. Pay particular experience to the narrator’s relationship with her father.

Once you have your design, you’ll need to prepare for the company: A prototype of the container, or an image showing what it will look like and what its dimensions will be. Calculations that prove the container will hold 16 �uid ounces. Your mathematical work should be as clear as possible. Remember that you’re explaining your design to people who may not be comfortable with math, so you’ll need to help them understand where your results came from.

Apply scienti�c and engineering ideas to evaluate, a device that minimizes the force on an object during a collision. Examples of evaluation could include determining the success of a device at protecting an object from damage.

Create your own dance! Invite family members to learn your dance, then have a “dance-o�” competition.

A project was very successful, and the company made more money than expected. You’ve been asked you to create di�erent methods to distribute bonuses to the 5 employees that directly worked on the project. There is $8,000 available to distribute. The method for distributing the money will be shared with the entire company. Make a proposal with at least two di�erent methods for your boss to choose from. Describe the advantages and disadvantages of each method. Then give your recommendation and provide an argument in its support.

Masks are used for various purposes in di�erent cultures. They may conceal identity, enhance beauty, or provide protection. Create a mask that represents you and write a brief explanation about its meaning.

Reread “Night Calls” on pages 9-18. Explain how the narrator’s relationship with her father reveals the story’s theme. Cite text evidence.

MATH:

Keep a food diary for a week. Log each meal, snack, and the number of glasses of water you drink (shoot for 8 glasses of water). Try to eat lots of fruits and vegetables.

PE/HEALTH:

Apply scienti�c and engineering ideas to design a device that minimizes the force on an object during a collision. Examples of a device could include a football helmet or a parachute.
